Coin of the week

 

In May we featured an Abingdon Head silver unit - "an extraordinary coin of great rarity and beauty" - thinking that it would be many years before we set eyes on another. Once again, we were mistaken. This one 'came out of the woodwork' within weeks of the other being published. It reveals more of the little horse under the horse. Extremely rare, only six others known. Chris Rudd September list.                                                                                                          12.9.05
